trying to understand...
1. If I understand correctly, the extractor depth, ideally, should measure apporx. .035..but not less than .032....
and,
2. approx 4-5 lbs of pressure should be exerted by the spring steel extractor onto the brass case by the 'wall' (the flat vertical side inside of the extractor recess)...
and,
3. this pressure should NOT be exerted by the tip of the extractor.
O.K. ..These two statements seem to be mutally exclusive. Maybe my measuring ability is flawed but,...
1A. when stmt #1 is followed. then the angle of extractor is pressing against the extractor groove in the brass case, not the 'wall'...Not good according to stmt #2 above..
2A. When stmt #2 is followed, the extractor hook, when modified and not touching the extractor groove in the brass case, is considerably less than.032. The tip of the extractor when dressed, is pointed and sharp enough on the tip that it would seem that a 'push feed' or a dirty chamber extraction would soon cause the extractor tip to shear.
I dunno, maybe I'm missing something here. The forest may be getting in the way of the trees again, or was it the other way?
Thanks,
salty.
